I was wondering if any airplanes are flying today that Bob Hoover flew in shows? It seeems in the early days there were many different shrikes (from videos and old photos). Were those right off the line, were they later sold to buyers? I had heard a story from someone at Torrance that when they noticed wrinkles on the upper wing skins the airplane was quickly replaced.
On a side note N500RA was deregistered by Smithsonian and the N number now reserved by individual in Texas. I think they should have retired it.
